HP XP P9500 Storage - Manual (Page 104)

Because the remote scan uses the Remote DKC Control function, it is necessary to set a command
device and a route list. Also, the disk configuration information acquired by the remote scan does
not have device numbers (DEVN) that are host attributes, because the information is from a storage
system that is not connected to the local host. A dummy device number must be allocated to the
disk configuration information acquired from the remote scan by using Business Continuity Manager.
“Remote scan in a 3DC Cascade (Cnt Ac-S Z x Cnt Ac-J Z) configuration” (page 104) shows an
operational image of the remote scan function for a 3DC Cascade (Cnt Ac-S Z x Cnt Ac-J Z)
configuration. In this example, Business Continuity Manager at the primary site performs a remote
scan to acquire the disk configuration information at an intermediate site without a channel
connection.
